But putting in place a system which distorts incentives around setting speed limits, seems like a bad idea.

Just like how yellow/caution light times were shortened where there were red light cameras. The financial incentives made intersections less safe.

Same with cameras. People learn where they are and engage in unexpected breaking to avoid fines.

And, btw, same argument could be made for cameras on sidewalks to do facial recognition and drug use.

Friction in law enforcement is a feature, not a bug.
